Questions about the DX474 softshell
Is the DX474 softshell waterproof?
The fabric is rated WP 8,000mm with a PFAS-free water-repellent finish, and Portwest describes it as waterproof and windproof. It is a softshell, not a seam-sealed rain jacket, so choose a rain jacket for long downpours.
Is the DX474 breathable?
Yes. It is rated MVP 3,000g/m2/24hr.
Does the DX474 stretch?
Yes. The RipShell fabric is 4-way stretch, and the sleeves are pre-bent for freedom of movement.
What colors does the DX474 come in?
All Navy and All Black, in sizes S through 6XL.
Is the DX474 softshell flame resistant?
